Page A14: Carrie Lukas wrote to the Letter to the editor: " Women face unique challenges in society. But it's hardly empowering to wallow in the false notion that intractable discrimination condemns us to second-class earnings. The fact is, full-time working men spend more time in the office, take less time away from the workforce and accept more risk (men suffer 93% of workplace deaths) than full-time working women. These are the primary reasons for the gap.
Comment: She did not quote the source of 93% deaths. Reliable or otherwise? I wonder!
Page C7: Comics: PICKLES- Cartoon in the light vein with humor for all disciples of Mark Twain:-
The kid asks:"What's for dinner,Granma? Reply: "Someone once said,there are only two lasting gifts we can give to our children." "One is roots and the other is wings." The kid seems to understand by saying:"She says that whenever we're having carrots and KFC." It is a matter of perception and reception. A smile or lots of laughs?
Whether it is about dinner or global economic crisis,we try to get along with different types of folks to smooth our way to pitch ideas. Carrot or stick? KFC goes to China for Sino-American Economics of Business. BTW,I have been a Kentucky Colonel since 1970 but I am allergic to Chicken since a was a youngster with phobia developed when witnessing the slaughter in Shanghai.
I have the following reflection in Pin Yin system of romanization:
1.Zuo ba wang jiu,i.e. An octogenarian looking forward to be in 90s,
2.lai ri fang chang, i.e. Many more years to come,
3.bai shou qu jing, i.e. Obtaining knowledge and wisdom with white hair,
4.lao dang yi zhuang!i.e. Aging with robust body and clear mind. (hale and hearty)
Nian yu gu xi qi cheng qi,(Surpassing old age praying to be somebody;hai wai ku du pan shi ji+(Studying hard overseas for half a century plus);wang fan zu guo jian qing ren(Going back and forth-USA/China-visiting beloved folks),yan wang zi sun bu wang ben(the descendant of the Yellow Emperor would cherish his roots).
Rejuvenation at age 84 to continue my learning: In Pin Yin "Zhi wu zhi now(I feel I still have lots to learn" Such state of mind is set to endorse "Work and Study Cycle Theory" www.ask.com for implementation of learning knowledge and wisdom to age 100+ as centenarian-to-be. 16 more years to go! Go for it!
I hope the readers would see fit to agree with the above thoughts?!
